Nothing to Fear

We can look at every negative thing in the world with dread and anxiety, and make ourselves out to be victims. We can feel hopeless and lost in a world that doesn't seem to get any better.

It's true that every day is a battlefield, but we have nothing to fear through faith in the one who can strengthen us. Jesus Christ.

We can be saved through faith in Jesus, because He died and paid the price for all the sins of the world. Past, present and future. He then rose again to prove that He is our Lord. If we confess our sins to Him and repent (change our minds about the sinful lives we lead), a beautiful life is ours forever, and we can start growing in a way we've never known.

Through faith we can truly look at our troubled world with a confidence that we've already conquered it. This kind of faith is real, and there is nothing more powerful. I wouldn't be typing this unless I thought so.

I'm not a preacher, but I know that my faith has changed me. It began to free me from thoughts and behavior, things that clouded my life and truly kept me from Gods' blessings. Faith takes effort and a strong will, and the world makes it tough. But, there is nothing better than the feeling that you're doing Gods' Will by fighting the good fight in faith.

This is a blog, though it is still from the heart. I pray that you think about this message and receive Jesus into your life.
